He welcomed the participants in Beaver <br />Boys State, and, at his request, each introduced themselves and indicated their home city in <br />Oregon. <br /> <br />A.Work Session: An Ordinance to Recover Costs Associated with Gatherings Involving <br /> Criminal Violations Requiring Frequent and Significant Police Response <br /> <br />City Manager Jim Johnson reminded the council that a public hearing on the proposed ordinance <br />was not scheduled until fall. <br /> <br />Chief Jim Hill referred the council to an amended copy of the ordinance, and said the policy issue <br />before the council was who should pay the cost of repeated responses to the types of events the <br />ordinance addresses. <br /> <br />Mr. Pap~ arrived at 5:41 p.m. <br /> <br />Lieutenant Carolyn McDermed noted staff's many meetings with different segments of the <br />community that would potentially be affected by the proposed ordinance. She noted opposition <br />to the element of the ordinance that would have penalized landlords for repeated police response <br />to an address, and said it had been dropped.
